Fire Safety

Our Portfolio Services

Advisory

At Urban Change we value long term relationships with portfolio owners, property managers and developers. This allows us to understand their business objectives, priorities and unique challenges. 

Fire Risk Management Programmes

Not all fire risk assessments are born equal. We pride ourselves in our ability to consider fire from first principles to identify the real risks and priorities for action.

Expert Witness

As an independent consultancy with in-house specialist Chartered Engineers, we can apply our expertise to identify the critical issues and resolve disputes.

Inspection Services

Our clients rely on our inspection services not only to identify defects in existing buildings, but to help resolve them. Our services include external wall assessments (EWS1) and compartmentation surveys.

Strategy

We look beyond the individual project or asset and help clients make informed decisions at portfolio and enterprise level, confident that they can achieve the greatest return on their investment.

Fire Safety Training

We keep teams abreast of the latest legislative changes relevant to their organisation's mission and help create industry leaders.

Policy, Standards & Guidance Writing

We help turn commitment, ambition and strategy into reality through clear, structured and engaging policy and guidance for fire safety stakeholders.

Assessment
& Certification

It is important that anyone investing in fire safety does so in a systematic way. This will ensure the most operationally effective and cost effective solutions are implemented and that continuous improvement can be achieved over time. Our approach allows clients to seek certification to BS9997 with a UKAS accredited certification body.

Fire Risk Management System Gap Analysis

In quick order we can identify gaps in an organisation's approach to fire risk management and identify appropriate interventions.

Fire Risk Management System Development

We work with stakeholders in client organisations to create a new system or take improvement actions.
